IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your

appliance follow these basic safety precautions:

 This appliance must be properly installed and located

in accordance with these instructions before it is used.

 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the

shelves or full-extension drawers in the appliance. They could damage the appliance and seriously injure themselves.

 Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the

appliance should be unplugged in order to avoid

contact with a live wire filament. (A burned out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

 Unplug the appliance before cleaning and making

repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

 Do not store or install this appliance outdoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of injury when using your appliance, follow these basic

safety precautions.

 Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water

when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.

 Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances

between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliance. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Explosion Hazard.

GEAppliances.com

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

NOTE: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE BEVERAGE CENTER OR WINE CHILLER

WARNING

Remove door from the unit, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT:

Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Product:

 Take off the door.  Leave the shelves and drawers in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Normal operating sounds.

Newer appliances sound different from older appliances. Modern appliances have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

WHOOSH...

■

The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old appliance and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.

■

Sometimes the appliance runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently.

■

You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the appliance.

GEAppliances.com

■

You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the appliance is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when large amounts of beverages are added to the appliance. The fans help maintain desired temperatures.

■

If door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the appliance.

■

The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

■

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the appliance is first plugged in. This happens as the appliance cools to the correct temperature.

■

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

WATER SOUNDS

■

The flow of refrigerant through the appliance cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

■

A water dripping noise may occur as water from the evaporator flows into the drain pan.

■

Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
